When Carter Riley arrived on the ninth floor — Scarlett's office — he was surprised to see Logan, his brother's assistant.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Is Brother Xander here?" Carter searches for traces of his brother, but in the large living room only he, Logan, and the receptionist brought him here. He didn't even see his sister-in-law.
"Oh, young master Carter…" Logan stood up from his seat when he saw Carter enter and be ushered in by a female receptionist.
"Logan!? Why are you here?" Carter asked, confused, but Logan ignored him. He dismissed the receptionist and motioned for Carter to sit on the couch.
After he saw Carter sitting in his chair, he finally answered him. "I work for the Young Madam now. So, of course, I will stay here."
"Wow! Brother loves my sister-in-law so much, huh! That's why he assigned you to be her assistant..." Carter was surprised to find out his older brother assigned his best person to serve her.
Logan didn't comment on his words. Instead, he asked, "Young master, why are you here? Wasn't the deal about the movie project discussed this morning?"
"Indeed! But I just wanted to see my sister-in-law's office. She also allowed me to come, so why not…." Carter smiled broadly, feeling happy that he could finally talk to his sister-in-law without getting much pressure from his brother.
This morning, he didn't get to talk to her because his older brother kicked him out after finishing breakfast.
"Young master, don't you have work in the office? I believe Studio Phoenix has many projects right now. Is that correct? Anyway, why did you casually come here? Does Master Xander know?" Ask Logan.
Carter cringed when he heard his brother's name. His eyes glared at Logan.
"Y-You! Don't you dare tell him I came here!" His gentle eyes turned sharp when he warned Logan.
Carter couldn't let his brother know, or he would come and kick him out of this building again. He didn't understand why his brother was over-protecting his sister-in-law.
"Hahaha, don't worry, young master. I'm not that kind of person, one who meddles in other people's business!"
"Is that so?" Carter doubted it. "I can see through your eyes that you want to grab your phone and call Ben, right?" Carter shook his head while chuckling.
He really knows the nature of his brother's subordinates. They are very loyal to him.
"Alright, if you want to tell my older brother, feel free. But remember, I came here to work too. I want to discuss the next steps for cooperation with the RAS!"
"As far as I know, my boss hasn't fully agreed. She's currently reading the script…." Logan said, staring at the black door. He wondered what was behind that black door. He heard from Cruz that it was a sacred space in this office.
"Oh! So now she's reading the script?" Carter's eyes lit up. "Since when did she read it?"
Logan glanced at his watch before responding, "About three hours..."
Carter immediately felt very happy. He knows that his sister-in-law must be like the script. Because if she doesn't like it, she will stop after 15 minutes of reading it.
He couldn't wait to hear her opinion on his brother's script.
While in Scarlett's office...
Scarlett was still in a daze after she finished reading the script.
The story is very intense and brilliant. How could the writer make her mind unable to not think about the story? Just reading the story can make her feel like the female lead in that story.
Immediately in her mind appeared a visual image of the story she had just read. She couldn't wait to draw it and make it into a living narrative.
Gosh! No wonder Uncle Harvey forced her to read the script. And he was also sure she would love it too.
Scarlett stood up from the couch and reached for her cell phone. She needed to call Uncle Harvey and tell him the good news.
Before calling, she stretched herself in several yoga poses. After sitting for hours reading a movie script, she felt her body stiff.
Then, she stood by the glass window enjoying the view outside, the vast blue sea and sky, before she called out to Uncle Harvey.
In a second ring, she could hear Harvey greeting her cheerfully.
"Girl, you finally called. Have you finished reading the script? I want to know what you think..."
"Uncle, I read the story." Scarlett couldn't wait to get started on this project. Because the script is amazing, and she's absolutely loving it.
"Oh, really!? So, do you accept it!?" Harvey Olson's voice was strained. He greatly anticipated this girl's answer.
"Yes!! I like it, so I agreed to join this project. Uncle, tell me the movie schedule. I'll try to adjust it to my current schedule to fit yours..." Scarlett explained things to Uncle Harvey.
After a few minutes of talking, she finally ended the call, and only then did she realize she was starving.
She was surprised to realize it was past 3 pm, and she had not had lunch yet. To her panic, Xander is about to pick her up.
Now, she didn't have time to order her lunch.
'Is auntie cooking for me upstairs?'
Scarlett immediately left her office room, wanting to go upstairs. But she was surprised to see Logan and Carter chatting seriously in the living room. In front of them clearly visible several cups of coffee and instant food.
"Carter? Why did you come here?" Scarlett walked towards them, feeling confused and looking at Carter.
Carter, "...", How could she forget? Instantly he felt hurt.
"Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you I would come here?" Carter smiled even though he felt sad inside.
"Ah, sorry, I forgot. I was too enthralled in reading your company script..." Scarlett smiled.
Instantly Carter's sadness vanished. He couldn't help but stand from his seat, anticipating her decision. "Sister, how is it? Did you agree to accept this project?"
"The director will contact your company..." Scarlett deliberately didn't tell him.
She excused herself and ran towards her apartment after asking Logan to accompany Carter. She needs to eat, or she will pass out.
